The Biennale of Contemporary Keramics (BCK) is delighted to announce the team of curators for its second edition, taking place on the island of Rhodes from June to October 2026 under the title “Where the Day Starts.”

  
The Biennale of Contemporary Keramics (BCK) will bring together contemporary artists from the Mediterranean who either live in one of the countries of the basin or have a meaningful connection to the region. Dedicated to promoting contemporary ceramics as an evolving art form, the Biennale moves nomadically across Greek islands, drawing inspiration from each location’s distinct history, archaeology, mythology, and culture.

  
The biennale’s title, “Where the Day Starts” is not only a reference to the island’s mythic dawn but also a call to new beginnings; igniting artistic exploration, catalyzing dialogue, and challenging participants to reimagine the Mediterranean’s shared heritage and ever-evolving identities in the light of today.

**Prize:**

* The Prize for the winning work is five thousand euros (5,000 euros).
* The Prize for the works awarded with a Special Mention is one thousand euros (1,000 euros)
* Prizes will be subject to the withholding of the corresponding Greek tax

  
**Practical Information:**

* BCK will cover two days of accommodation during the exhibition’s opening for all participating artists. The artists should cover all production, work transportation, and traveling expenses.

  
* BCK will provide artists with letters of recommendation for funding and sponsorship opportunities.
